Chapter 005: It's not peaceful in Taiping Town

Yu Changsheng got the exact news from the old winemaker.

The girl really went to Taiping Town.

So, Yu Changsheng also went down the mountain to Taiping Town.

When he came to Taiping Town, Yu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh, it was really peaceful here.

The streets are bustling and lively, the environment is clean and the air is fresh.

The road is paved with colored bricks, dotted with green trees, and the scenery is excellent, but strangely enough, everyone is wearing a mask here.

There are small stalls on the street, and passers-by are endless, but when they buy things, they can only communicate with each other.

These people are dancing very funny, and with no sound, they are alive and in a mime.

Yu Changsheng felt weird and funny, looked around the surroundings, and sniffed again.

The air is fresh and there is no odor.

After thinking about it for a while, I probably guessed it.

Hey, it's not allowed to talk here, no wonder it's peaceful.

Yu Changsheng thought it was interesting, walked to the front of a stall, picked up a pear, and tentatively wanted to ask the price.

The stall owner's eyes widened, and before Yu Changsheng could speak, he hurriedly waved his hand, his eyes frightened.

With Yu Changsheng's past temperament, he will definitely open his mouth to break the ring and see what is wrong.

However, after the red smoke insects made such a fuss, in this realm, Yu Changsheng really didn't dare to mess around.

So, he nodded to the stall owner, pointed to the pear, gestured, and asked him how much it was.

The stall owner breathed a sigh of relief, but he still looked at Yu Changsheng with some vigilance, and only after a while did he gesture to 2 with his hand.

Yu Changsheng picked a few pears, the stall owner said yes, bagged them and handed them to Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng didn't care about the price, and directly took out 5 silver coins, and the stall owner was overjoyed.

At this time, Yu Changsheng gestured to the stall owner again, pointed to the people wearing masks on the street, and pointed to his mouth, with a confused expression, and expressed his meaning with difficulty.

Of course, the stall owner also understood, hesitated for a moment, but still pouted and shook his head.

"Click-"

Yu Changsheng buckled the five gold coins on the table, and the stall owner's eyes lit up, and he poked his head out, looking left and right.

Then, he made a gesture with the person in the stall next to him, meaning that he would help him look at the stall, and then mysteriously gave Yu Changsheng a look, and then beckoned Yu Changsheng to go with him.

Yu Changsheng understood and immediately followed.

The two of them twisted and turned in the alley, and they were afraid that they would be worried, but Yu Changsheng was fearless and followed closely behind.

The two finally stopped at a small two-story western-style building, and the vendor entered, beckoning Yu Changsheng to follow up.

Yu Changsheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect that even a stall vendor would be so rich.

Looking around, this is a residential area, full of two-story western-style buildings, and some of them have rare steam cars parked in front of them.

After entering the western-style building, the vendor still didn't say a word, leading Yu Changsheng into the basement.

As soon as they entered the basement, the vendor immediately closed the door.

The lights in the basement are on, resplendent and luxuriously decorated.

There are sofa coffee tables, melon and fruit snacks, and bookshelves.

The vendor finally opened the mask, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said:

"Brother, how did you come to Taiping Town?"

"Chase someone." Yu Changsheng replied truthfully.

"Oh, I advise you to get out of here quickly, outsiders are not welcome here, and if you are not careful, you will probably be arrested......" said the vendor mysteriously.

"But since outsiders are not welcome, why are there no signs or guards outside the city gates?" Yu Changsheng was puzzled.

"Because...... This town doesn't need any guards at all, the mayor of the town is a very terrible curse, as long as it is within the scope of Taiping Town, anyone who violates the rules he has set will be discovered by him, and then he will send guards to arrest those who violate his rules. Outsiders don't understand this rule, and it's naturally very dangerous. ”

"What rules?" Yu Changsheng asked.

"People in the town are not allowed to talk and communicate in public." The vendor replied.

"Why? What is the point of living and not being allowed to speak? Yu Changsheng was surprised.

"I don't know, maybe the mayor thinks that if you don't speak, it will be peaceful. But it is true, as you can see, Taiping Town is very prosperous and wealthy, and even fruit vendors like me can live in a single-family western-style house. On the surface, Taiping Town is really peaceful and prosperous...... But ......"

"But what?"

The merchant stared at Yu Changsheng for a while, swallowed his saliva, and said in a lower voice:

"But our people here, the income is very meager, just now I gestured to you, in fact, to tell you, crisp pears are only 2 copper coins a catty, like the distinguished guest you are so generous, it is really rare. Even if an outsider like you occasionally arrives here, he will often speak rashly, break the rules, and be directly arrested by the mayor, and even those who hear him speak will be arrested. ”

Yu Changsheng suddenly realized, no wonder this vendor respected him so much, and was able to reveal the truth to himself.

Dare to love is also for money.

According to the currency exchange rate of Mozhou, 1 gold coin = 100 silver coin = 1000 copper coin, according to the price here, Yu Changsheng is already a local tyrant.

Yu Changsheng suddenly remembered the old drunkard who made things difficult for him, and his heart suddenly became angry.

Damn, this old slippery head, according to the price here, the money he gave to the old slippery head is enough to make him the soil emperor of Taiping Town, it's too shameless.

Thinking of this, Yu Changsheng continued to ask:

"Since there is no money here, and there are so many restrictions, why don't you leave?"

The vendor smiled bitterly, glanced at Yu Changsheng suspiciously, and said:

"Hehe, you're coming down from the mountain to the south, aren't you?"

Yu Changsheng nodded.

"That's right, you should have seen that manor when you came, it was ostensibly a manor, but it was actually the mayor's palace, and it was also the checkpoint he set up around Taiping Town. It will not block passers-by who go to Taiping Town, but it will obstruct those who want to leave Taiping Town, and the toll fee is 100 gold coins at a time, which can only be done by delaying the relationship. If you can't break in or smuggle in, there are traps all over the mountains around Taiping Town, and if you can't escape, you will be killed......" said the vendor with a frown.

Yu Changsheng lit a cigarette and handed it to the vendor.

The vendor was also unwary of Yu Changsheng, unceremoniously took the cigarette, and continued:

"So, those of us who seem to be living happily ever after, are more like canaries in a cage, and this thriving appearance is just a display for the high lord to see, and becomes a talking point for him to show off."

Yu Changsheng only then understood the strangeness of this Taiping Town, but he was also a prodigal son, and he was very surprised that the merchants were so honest, and couldn't help asking:

"Aren't you scared when you tell me so much?"

"Hehe, what are you afraid of, it doesn't matter, even if you are arrested and brainwashed, you will be released after a while. But if you hold the words in your heart for a long time, the pain is really indescribable, so I tell you so much, you can be regarded as a great favor for me! The vendor said helplessly.

Yu Changsheng spat out a smoke ring, smiled knowingly, and said:

"Hehe, I'm a person, if I help people, I have to help them to the end, so please trouble brother, you continue to talk about it, have you seen a girl from other places also come here today?"
